What was the lowest-scoring Super Bowl ever? Record was set recently
NFL fans older than age 13 likely remember the lowest-scoring Super Bowl ever. The regrettable record was one that was set not too long ago. Defense was the dominating factor on both sides of Super Bowl 53 six years ago. Neither the Rams or Patriots were able to find the end zone for the first three quarters of the game, and they combined to score just one touchdown all game. Two of the biggest ironies of the low-scoring affair in 2019 was that the contest was the immediate successor to the second highest-scoring Super Bowl of all time, and that it also featured the Patriots, the loser of that high-scoring title game the year before. In addition, the Rams, losers of Super Bowl 53, boasted the 11th highest-scoring offense ever at the time. Los Angeles managed just three points in the Super Bowl.

RANKING ALL 58 SUPER BOWLS:How does first Chiefs-Eagles clash rate in list of best to worst? What was the lowest-scoring Super Bowl ever? Super Bowl 53 was the lowest-scoring Super Bowl of all time. The Patriots defeated the Rams, 13-3, in 2019 and scored 10 of their 13 points in the fourth quarter. Los Angeles, which had just finished off a season that both tied for the second most single-season wins in franchise history, and featured a game that was the third highest-scoring game in NFL history (against Kansas City), mustered just three points. It took a 53-yard field goal – at the time, the second-longest in Super Bowl history – from kicker Greg Zuerlein to even get on the board. Patriots head coach Bill Belichick's defense completely stymied the high-powered offense orchestrated by Rams head coach Sean McVay. Quarterback Tom Brady led New England on a single touchdown drive with seven minutes left in the game, and kicker Stephen Gostkowski iced the win with a 41-yard field goal with just over a minute to go.

How many quarters are there in the Super Bowl?
The 2025 Super Bowl will kick off in New Orleans on Sunday, Feb. 9. How many quarters are there in the NFL title game? Up until the end of regulation, the Super Bowl has the same time rules as any other NFL game. There are four quarters, each of which is 15 minutes long. Regulation will last 60 minutes total in the Super Bowl, as it does in any other NFL game. The Super Bowl rematch between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs is scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT. Here's what to know about the Super Bowl game clock: RANKING ALL 58 SUPER BOWLS: How does first Chiefs-Eagles clash rate in list of best to worst? The Super Bowl, like in every other NFL game, has four quarters. Each quarter is 15 minutes long, so a full NFL game is 60 minutes of on-the-field action. Should the Super Bowl be tied after four quarters, it would go to overtime, which would only be the third time that has ever happened. In that scenario, there would be another 15 minute period added. If the score is still tied after 15 minutes, another 15 minutes would be added, and so on, until a champion is determined. There are many scenarios in which overtime could be decided before the 15 extra minutes are up, though, and USA TODAY Sports also has a full breakdown on all of the overtime rules.

How long is the Super Bowl? Here's the average game time for the last 20 years
The Super Bowl is one of the biggest spectacles on the yearly sports calendar. The NFL likes to milk the game for all it's worth. From extensive pregame coverage of the event to a longer halftime to accommodate a brief-but-world-class musical performance, the Super Bowl has become an all-day event. Naturally, that leads the Big Game to be longer than the average NFL contest, which typically lasts just over 3 hours. How long is the Super Bowl on average?
